Personality traits
An introduction to horse personality and its role in inheritance.
Horse personality traits are a confirmed feature, and the official breeding description says foals can inherit them from their parents.
A confirmed part of the horse system#
The launch article identifies personality traits among the additions made after the initial demo. The store also includes them in its description of foal inheritance.
Compare observations carefully#
When noting a horse’s behavior, distinguish the displayed trait from a temporary condition or an assumption about temperament. A visible reaction by itself is not enough to prove the numerical effect of a trait.
Breeding and personality#
Personality can be one consideration when planning a pair. The sources do not explain the exact selection rules or the likelihood of each outcome, so a pairing should not be treated as a guaranteed route to a particular temperament.
What still needs verification
Trait names, effect values, compatibility rules, and inheritance chances need in-game verification.
